I like to ‘mix it up’ and make different stuff when I have a party, like this fruit bowl I made one time, that made me feel like Martha Stewart! If you’re picking up pizza for your Super Bowl gathering this weekend, you are not alone! It’s one of the most popular Super Bowl food choices. Papa John’s Pizza says it hopes to sell more than one million pizzas on Sunday. That adds up to about 8 million slices on game day. If you’re hosting a party like me this Sunday, what’s on your game day menu?

Everyone likes pizza, but the king of Super Bowl snacks is potato chips. Nearly 46 million pounds of chips are sold in the run up to the game. Add in other snack foods, like tortilla chips, pretzels and popcorn, and we’re talking about nearly 177 million pounds of snacks sold on Super Sunday.

We host an annual Super Bowl party at our house and we have TONS of food, because all my friends bring an appetizer! Our huge buffet table on game day always includes: Chili dogs, White Castle cheeseburgers, chicken wings & tenders, my ‘famous Mexican dip’ with nacho chips, shrimp cocktail and a ‘little bit of healthy’ with a veggie tray! Then as my friends arrive, the buffet table gets even bigger!

Linda Lee's mexican dip!

My “Famous Mexican Dip” is so quick & easy and a big crowd pleaser! If you would like to try it, here’s the recipe!

Take one large tub of ‘soft’ cream cheese and spread evenly over large round plate.Cover cream cheese with a small jar of ‘hot’ chunky salsa.  Cover salsa with 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese.  Then top with evenly scattered: chopped onions, tomato’s and green peppers.

It is so colorful & delicious! Trust me, you will end up with an empty plate well before the end of the game! What’s a ‘must have’ on your Super Bowl snack list?
